J.Zunz at The Old Blue Last

The album Obsidiana, released on the Rocket label, takes its title from obsidian, a hard, dark volcanic rock. The artist describes it as more aggressive and more gentle at once than earlier work, with each track built around a deliberate aim, from exorcising fear to healing inherited sadness.

The record moves between distinct textures. Imago has an eerie ambience close to Radiophonic sound, Osiris is a dancefloor-adjacent piece that recalls Chris & Cosey, and Silvia is abrasive and industrial in tone. On Final, Freddie Murphy, who performs as Father Murphy, adds trumpet and synth abstractions, the project's only main guest on the album.

The concert takes place at The Old Blue Last, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows. The music suits listeners interested in electronic, industrial and experimental pop and rock, with the album's material forming the core of the evening.
